Fun day trip

Incredible experience! Though the drive from Queenstown was a long one, Harry kept it interesting with his witty humor and knowledge of the area. The few stops we made along the way were picturesque and a great way to break up the drive. Milford sound was moody and magnificent, and we even saw bottlenose dolphins as well as Tawaki penguins! Well worth the day trip from Queenstown!
